The model stands under the flowering tree, with the photographer slightly shooting from above, the camera position slightly lower than the model's head, and the viewpoint parallel to the model. The top frame is created by the branches and leaves of the flower tree, with the background retaining the temple wall and some of the crowd atmosphere to highlight the model as the main subject. Use a camera with a 50mm focal length or a smartphone's 2x zoom to capture the mid-shot that emphasizes the integration of the subject with the environment.
